Having trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, under Esther Perel and working towards a Sex Therapy Certification, I consider my approach to be eclectic.  My goal is to help Couples identify where they get stuck and build the tools to find their own resolution and connectedness.  To get out of the same argumentative cycles or periods of silence.  I work to improve communication, increase intimacy, understand Substance Use, recover from infidelity and improve conflict resolution skills.  

 

I invite Couples and Individuals to explore how to find peace with relationships they have or potentially "saying goodbye" to a relationship that no longer serves them.  Also sometimes most importantly, supporting clients in best understanding and respecting the relationship they have with themselves.  

 

Also, having had a history working with Substance Use, I recognize the toll it can take on a Relationship and in the family.  I'll support those Couples and Individuals in working through the hurt and pain that can be caused when someone they loved is experiencing the disease of Addiction.  Our work can be used to process and heal.  Or if they, themselves, are trying to navigate long term recovery or chronic relapse.
